This week's SOD features interviews with Peter Reckell, Crystal Chappell and Kristian Alfonso, and this week's SOW features an interview with Peter Reckell.

Bo tells Carly in detail that things are not going well with his marriage to Hope. Reckell says, "Carly's like the port in the storm during Bo's troubles with Hope." Carly is emotional after having remembered her Mayan wedding to Bo, and she tells Bo she's falling in love with him again. Chappell explains to SOD that Carly wasn't really planning to tell Bo this, but she just blurts it out after Bo says his marriage is over. Chappell continues, "I don't think [Carly] has any expectations of a relationship. She is totally just trying to be in the moment, which is, at this point, avoid her feelings for him."

Reckell says that while Carly opens up about her feelings, Bo doesn't. Instead, he tells Carly he'd rather not talk about it. However, Reckell says, "It's not right for [Bo] to say anything, but hopefully you'll see the underlying feelings he has for her."

Carly tries to leave, but Bo stops her. As Reckell explains, Bo "wants to be near her". They are about to kiss when Hope walks in to tell Bo that the Hortons want to have Christmas Eve festivities at Bo and Hope's house. Carly leaves quickly and Hope sees that she's interrupted something, but Bo tells her it was nothing.

Once Bo and Hope are alone, she asks him what's going on. Reckell explains, "Bo wants to hug Hope and kiss her, but it's not right. It's an emotional struggle."

However, Bo does agree to host Christmas Eve at his home. Reckell explains, "Doug and Julie are there. Mrs. Horton is in the kitchen. Maggie shows up.. they're all trying to get Bo and Hope back together." Bo tells everyone he appreciates their efforts, "but he just doesn't think they're going to have a Christmas miracle this year."

Bo decides to step out for a few moments to take a walk. Reckell explains that Bo can't be with Carly, which would be "nice and relaxed and simple", but he can't be with Hope either, because "Hope's family is making it uncomfortable for him." Alfonso says, "Bo walks out of the house and Hope walks out after him. She knows that she's losing him and she says to him, 'I wish we could go back. If this was a movie, you would wrap your arms around me and tell me it was going to be okay.' And he basically says, 'But it's not' and walks off." Alfonso says Hope "crumbles" and realizes things are over between them; she's upset that Bo "doesn't seem to have any remorse or empathy or guilt about what's taking place."

Reckell tells SOW that everyone is making Bo out to be the bad guy, "and Bo is like... I'm not the bad guy. Hope's the one who moved out."

As for Bo's future with Carly, Chappell says that she likes the way Peter's put it, that Carly "was more of an adult love" for Bo, because she came later in his life when they were "both starting over". Chappell says that's what's happening here too. "They find themselves in the same position of being at a crossroads and where do they go?"

Wow. So is this really "it" for Bo and Hope or will they be back in each other's arms by New Year's Eve? As happy as I am that this story is finally moving forward, I find it hard to believe that Bo and Hope will be apart for more than a week or two, LoL.

Anyway, this sounds pretty good. I'm really looking forward to all these scenes -- especially the ones with Peter and Kristian. My only complaint is that we won't get to see the Horton house for Christmas this year. Couldn't they at least drag that set out for just one day?! It's such a crock. They can build a set for the kidnapper and a living room set for Mickey and Maggie, but they can't bring out the Horton set for Christmas? Such a crock.

I can (grudgingly) buy that Carly has renewed feelings for Bo. OK. What I can't swallow is that Bo returns those feelings, regardless of his situation with Hope. I do look forward to the scenes between Bo and Hope, though.

And I too am upset that we won't be seeing the Horton house for Christmas this year.

Sounds awesome! Watching Bo and Carly, I agree that it is more of an adult kind of love.Weird that Hope wants Bo to feel more guilt...the dude didn't do anything wrong...why guilt? She is the one that right when things get a bit rocky, packs up the kid and hightails it out!

I am surprised that they would do this to Bope, but I am ready for them to have a break and get different material for a bit...but I am sure it won't last long.

I just don't understand Hope. She wants to throw her tantrums and leave Bo high and dry for the stupidest reasons, but at the same time she expects him to put his own life on hold and kiss her ass until she finally decides to grow up and go back home. You can't have your cake and eat it too, bitch!

Why? Bo loved Carly deeply. Hope has been treating Bo like a piece of trash for a long while now. She never lets him forget his flaws. She blames him for everything and always assumes the worst. This is not new. Hope has been doing this to Bo since the return from Aremid.

So here's a man who is being blamed by everyone for Hope's decision to move out. Here's a man who has been beaten down and suddenly here is a woman who he loved deeply, who loved him and is now soothing his ego. I don't see it as a stretch at all.

Maybe GT is not into KC's "endgame/supercouple" scenario which I think has hurt the show. Seriously, how many times can the damsel in distress stories work. For J/M, for S/K, for B/H that's all there was left..over the top, silly gimmicks to create craziness where one of them needed to be rescued.Finally, here is a real story about love not being enough. Hope cannot get past the blame game. Nothing Bo does will ever stop that. Realism. Time for a new chapter.
